Sultan Grants Armenian Amnesty and Commutes Death Sentences
Constantinople reports the Sultan grants amnesty to 20 Armenians convicted of government or personal crimes or awaiting trial. Ninety death sentences are commuted to fortress imprisonment, with release possible after three months if good behavior. The move follows pleas from Armenian Patriarch Ormanian and requires the patriarchal mixed council to supervise future conduct.
